Coaching for Conservation

C
oaching for Conservation® was launched 10 years ago as a project of the Botswana Predator Conservation Trust.
Coaching for Conservation® in partnership with Investec Rhino Lifeline is delighted to announce a continued partnership with the Community Engagement program of St Andrews College and DSG.

The SAC/DSG volunteers play a vital role in the programme, setting examples and being role models for our Grade 5 participants.

C4C coaches mentor children through a process of:

Respect for themselves (to be fit and healthy and to choose to have a future),

Respect for each other (to care about their family, friends, teammates and pets) and

Respect the environment around them (to care about and be involved in designing the world they will grow up in)

C4C uses two mechanisms for teaching: one is to harness the power of sport and all the inherent value that sport provides in terms of health, fitness, teamwork and pride; and the second is to bring the animals we are trying to protect, onto the sports field, as the coaches and mentors to learn from.
